Hi, I am Jessica Rose the Instructional Technology Specialist at MacArthur High School. We are working hard to have a successful one-to-one laptop program at MacArthur. I plan on sharing useful tips for you to use to integrate technology into your classroom. Please share your information with me as we communicate together to make a successful school and laptop program.


The Questions that I must ask everyone
1. What are you going to do to implement technology into your lessons?
2. What are your goals to meet and achieve this year Laptop Re-visioning goal of 100% laptop participation?
3. What are your expectations of our leaders?

Set goals for yourself this year and share them.

Memebers of this group that have been invited are MacArthur High School Teachers and Administrators
As well as: Paula D'Spain - Graduation Coach
D'Lee Cook - Training @ Guyer High School

There are a variety of resources you can begin checking out over the summer.

Remember our Re-Visioning Mission:

MacArthur High School with the help of district administration, school administration, teachers, students, and community will utilize technology to our fullest ability to ensure students' achievement through developing curriculum with the highest level of technology integration and establishing the expectation of technology use in the classroom. We will fulfill this expectation by establishing a plan with checks, balances, and responsibilities built into our High School Technology Plan.
